Hi all,

I went to look at a 2017 B Class SE Executive B180d.

I was surprised to see it didn't have DAB radio. Is this normal? Or is it hidden somewhere?

Thanks.

DAB is a rarity in Mercs - one of the last to add as Std

Check the menus on earlier stuff it was a separate module and not in Radio section

get chassis number and put in here for the build spec of the car https://www.lastvin.com/

537 Digital radio is what u want to see - not 537L (UK words)

Its really strange though, that on a 2017 model there is no DAB.

I dread to think how much MB were quoting for that when it was built.

Thats not to meant you cannot have it though. Speak to Command Online about adding it as per factory original or look at the various aftermarket DAB options available.
I fitted an aftermarket add on DAB many years ago in a Jaguar X type i had at the time, cheap and effective

I did the same on my R Class. Integrates perfectly with the head unit and steering wheel controls.

first line of my reply

and 537L is a thing all UK Mercs get - so No DAB - its possible to add, various stuff out there - dependent upon the system in the car can be easy to add, so it looks like it was original fit
